what can possibly be said that has not already been said? is there any way that a tragedy can be turned into a victory? shall we take a life for a life? what innocent life is justified by the taking of another? life is too short for hate, yet hate consumes us. we are a people born in hate and we are a people who will die in hate . i hate certain people for what they did, yet in my hate i must find a resolve. i do not know anyone who had their life taken from then in New York and Washington, yet they are still my brothers and sisters. i grieve the loss as much as anyone. how shall we recover from such a loss so great? in God we trust i suppose...indeed, in God i shall trust.
